No. Try Mobil 1 10w-30 and monitor the oil usage. If it's more than about 1 qt for 3000 miles, I would just continue to use regular dino oil.

Yes, I am planning on running full synthetic here in about a week...I am going to change the crankcase and tranny to synthetic as I know from experience it is worth it to me in the end. If your engine is mechanically sound, use a quality engine flush prior to changing oil and then change again at about 5000 to full synthetic again to get rid of most all residue.
